    Loud random pop from sub

    I've had this system installed for a little over a year. Single sub with mono amp. Over the weekend I was listening at low to moderate volumes and all of a sudden the sub emitted a loud pop, and then continued to play. It's happened a few times since then regardless of the input currently...

    Options for finishing box

    Other than carpet and vinyl what are some other good things to use to cover a speaker box. Box is 24x18x17 and I'm not going to go too overboard, $50 max. I could care less if it matches my car interior or not.

    Use bass boost on amp or not

    I did search, but sometimes it's easier to ask than search and read through twenty different threads and still not find exactly what you're looking for. It's also easier to click the back button instead of wasting everyone's time leaving a worthless reply like cracka did above.

    Use bass boost on amp or not

    Thanks man, I'll go ahead and turn the gain all the way up too and set my lp filter to 200hz. Feel free to ignore the questions you don't understand, not everyone can be a l337 as you.

    Use bass boost on amp or not

    Thanks, I just turned off the bass boost and redid the gain setting with my test disc and after hooking the sub back up the 50Hz test disc sounds alot cleaner at high volume and the other frequencies are much more defined now as well. Now I'm curious if I should invest in a new amp with a...

    How is the Pioneer DEH-1100MP for a 16 yr old's first car?

    Click Here 2008 3000 series for $20 more. MUCH better deal. If he can kick out another $25 go for the 4000UB. USB, AUX, 3 sets of 4V preouts, SIRIUS, XM ready, etc. I have the premier edition (400UB) and while it doesn't have the top notch displays, it has all the core components you'll...

    Another VS thread.

    I'd go for the REs and do a ported box instead of sealed if that is a possibility. That would definitely be the loudest option. I've never heard the SEs in person, but I can tell you that the w3v3s have pretty good SQ.

    JL Audio 900/5!

    Looks nice, but I'd guess $800 retail at least. I love my JL equipment and they no doubt make quality stuff, but paying retail for anything JL is retarded.

    Use bass boost on amp or not

    For the original amp configuation: Head Unit Settings: EQ flat Sub control at 2/3 Bass off Loudness off Amplifier Settings: LPF at 80Hz rolling off at 24DB/o Bass Boost On (12db at 50Hz) I set the output voltage using a DMM to 28.3 (sqrt(400x2)) with the head unit at the max volume I...

    Lights dimming in truck

    Lights are dimming in my truck on big notes, which surprises me considering I'm only pushing 400 watts. Should I look into a new battery (just replaced about six months ago), new alternator, or (/shudders) a capacitor (really think this would be a waste at my power level).

    JL Audio disappoints me

    Congratulations, this is the longest run on sentence I have ever seen. ", . ? !" Back to the point, after having your message analyzed by numerous linguists we've come to the conclusion that this "paragraph" is stating that you fed 6000 watts to a sub that is rated for 1000 - 1500 tops and...

    12" JL W6 Ported or Sealed (Read before commenting)

    If you have the space go ported. I just moved my 13w3v3 to a ported box from a sealed box and was absolutely stunned with the amount of SP gained with the same power, plus, if you tune the box low enough you can still get the incredible SQ the W6 line is known for.

    lack of bass

    Port the box and let the back seat down. It should get close to your SUV.
